Might be a bit of a late answer for you, but I just got through resolving a similar issue. If your company's smtp server is using port 587, it probably means it's using starttls, which is a plain text protocol with an upgrade to TLS. So if we tell matlab to use SSL, it doesn't understand the plain text responses. So need to omit the line props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class','javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory'); or if you've already set it, use props.remove('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class'); to delete the key. Additionally you probably need to enable starttls with props.setProperty('mail.smtp.starttls.enable', 'true' );
This worked for me!
